RE: [flexcoders] newbie question: Populating Datagrid from external complex xml

Thu, 18 May 2006 11:54:17 -0700

Have you tried using a labelFunction on each column?

That function gets run for every element in the dataProvider array and gets passed a reference tothat item.

You can use whatever logic you need to navigate to the data you need, and then return that for the dataGrids use.

Take a look at this, and if you need more help post back.  I might be able to do a quick example.

What version of Flex, by the way?

Subject: [flexcoders] newbie question: Populating Datagrid from external complex xml

Hi,

I don't have any issues populating the datagrid when my external xml
file is very basic. for example:

<users>
    <user>
        <username>Joe</username>
        <useremail>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</useremail>
    </user>
    <user>
        <username>Maggie</username>
        <useremail>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</useremail>
    </user>

</users>

But when I have many nested elements and attributes - I can never
access the elements deeper within the xml.

Can anyone put up a bare-bones example of populating a datagrid with
something like the following from an xml file.


<users>
    <user>
        <username gender="male">Joe</username>
        <useremail>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</useremail>
        <location id="001">
             <city>Bedford</city>
             <state>MA</state>
        </location>
    </user>
    <user>
        <username gender="female">Maggie</username>
        <useremail>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</useremail>
        <location id="002">
             <city>Lexington</city>
             <state>MA</state>
        </location>
    </user>

</users>

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe
